Can a Mac laptop connect to this TV to view movies from the Internet on the TV?

Merwin K. Sigale, It sure can. You can connect a computer with an HDMI cable. Make sure that you change the computer's resolution to a resolution supported by the TV (720 or 1080, usually work great) and change the name of the TV's HDMI input to "PC" so that the video card runs smoothly. The instructions on editing the input's name is in the manual, or we can help too. Just ask! Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

Yes. It has HDMI input. You will need an adapter for the mac to convert from their thunderbolt or display port to HDMI. That should cost less than 10. Good luck

It will not, you have to check what the input your TV uses. HD TVs mostly use HD15 (monitor) or HDMI or DVI in that order, the other end need to be either mini-DVI or what ever the "new" Mac is using, check you Mac and TV before buying. If you don't have specs for them you can find them online. Lastly the HD15 and DV only support pic not sound, you have to use a second cable for sound, I know this is a lot of info, but this stuff has not been standardized. The instruction book for the TV will have all of this. Good Luck!

The video signal only goes one way from DisplayPort to HDMI so it most likely won't work unless you already have a cable adaptor. Older Mac laptops used Mini DisplayPort which is a different connection than the regular DisplayPort that this cable uses. New Macbook Pros have an HDMI out and Thunderbolt connections. Not sure about Macbook Airs.

As far as I know, mini displayPort and Thunderbolt are one way, that is they send video out from the MacBook Pro. They are not inputs. Most common way of importing video is via the firewire connection on the Macbook. They sell similar looking devices like this one that take rca inputs and convert them to firewire outputs.

You can, but you might also need an adapter to connect to your Mac if it does not have an HDMI out port. I think the new Retina MacBookPro's have an HDMI but I'm not certain. Other Macs (recent ones) have a Thunderbolt port, also known as an MDP. Older Macs have different video out port. In any event, if yours does not have the HDMI video out, you just need to figure out which port you hsve and then find that type of adapter to adapt to HDMI. you can easily get an adapter at Amazon or even a local Radio Shack carries them. Enjoy your HD and your Mac!!

Cord could be bad- doubtful. Make sure the HDMI port on the TV is selected. you will also need to select audio output from Mac to TV speakers.

I'm not a Mac owner, however it does work on my Apple TV. I' m guessing that if your Mac has the HDMI port, it will work. I hope this helps.

If you have the cable connected from your MacBook to the TV and both devices are on, the TV screen should display something like a background wallpaper or your desktop. If not, check two things. First check to see if you have display mirroring on (button on top right of your desktop next to wireless icon). Second you can check display preferences and make sure HDMI display is selected. Doing one or both of these should solve your problem.

Yes, the router will provide a standard connection and should work just fine with a Mac.

I don't own a Mac, but I'm not aware of any way to share a screen from any OS, just push media to it (which you can do from a Mac, ostensibly, with AirPlay).

Should work with your macbook with mini display port.. Any TV with rca inputs is suitable.

Hi, John. If your TV has an ethernet or Wi-Fi capability, it should be able to connect to the internet.

Yes you can! My MacBook Pro 13inchs screen recently broke so I got a VGA adapter, hooked it up to my TV & it worked.

I have not tried to use mine with a MacBook. However HDMI output is standardized. That means this device should, in theory, convert any HDMI output to VGA regardless of the source device.
